A LIFE TOO SHORT

LUKE
     Heart broken now.  Lana found Luke near a neighbor's home, along the road, the victim of an auto.  It had just happened, but he was gone. We had just celebrated his second birthday.
A BELOVED TWO YEARS

    He discovered the high perch as a kitten.
   He was the big brother, but a very mellow cat.


    We've had many cats over the years and Luke was by far the most intelligent.  As Lana said you could see him thinking.

   Like most cats, he never found a box he didn't enjoy.  He had a penchant for curling in for a long nap-one of his favorite activities.
There is something wonderful in the human-pet connection.
When that link is broken, it hurts. We wonder how Hemingway and little Joy will cope.
Thanks for indulging the sentimentality.
See you down the trail.

  1. Oh nooo. I always love your cat posts. Absolutely crushing to lose such a beloved member of the family. We recently lost our 6 year old dog and 16 year old cat (2 months apart). Still haven't gotten over it. So sorry to hear the news. Hugs to you and Lana.
